Have you ever bonded with someone over a problem?
Today I want to introduce you to Tori, Tori is one of those people that you meet and just feel like “ok I want to know this girl more.” She is a place of warmth, a person of deep connection, a space of acceptance, and a heart full of joy and love for others
Tori and I met a few years back on my first trip to Egypt, as an ex-pat who now calls Egypt home I got to see a part of her world, her joy, and the life she so beautifully created; and now, after a few years and a few more trips here, I got to sit down with her and share this intentional conversation
We talk about how intentionality and friendship is how we choose to see it and how location is not contingent on deep connection. She shares about her fear of “self FOMO” and how it at times has led her to step into things, and she shares what she claims to be “the most Gen Z statement ever”
Tori is a woman that has allowed grief, change, fear, and struggle to propel her into the beautiful human she is today, she is one that continues to intentionally love, value, and create space for others to be seen, known, and treasured, and she is one I am deeply honored to call a friend
So tune in today and meet Tori, a bright light, a radiant soul, and one that reminds us all to pursue the presence of who we are to become
And to you Tori thank you, thank you for trauma bonding with me over some malfunctioning horses years ago, thank you for deep conversations in your dimly lit apartment, thank you for your humility, honesty, and the way your light is not something to be dimmed by anything in this world. You are a place of welcome and I hope you are always blessed as you continue to bless those who know you

What is Your Fellow Human?
These interview style episodes are all about the way we as people view life, the things we love and the things that cause us pain, the way we think, hope, and fear.
We each hold a unique place in this world, complete with our own dreams, culture, and perspective. It is the individual stories of those I meet along my journey that shape the way I see the world.
I’m excited to share these stories with you and hope they allow you to fall in love with humanity as they have for me.
